The Augusta-sweater is knitted top-down. It has raglan increases with a seed stitch pattern in the raglan. On the back side the raglan increases start from the neck and not from the shoulders. This gives the sweater a nice feminine back. The neck is shaped by working short rows. The sleeves are ¾ long and are knitted in the round with double pointed needles or with magic loop.
